Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de bob palmieri Enviado el: viernes, 31 de agosto de 2007 7:13 Para: lug@leica-users.org Asunto: [Leica] Neopan 400 and the Mighty Collapsible 'Cron Folks - Shot some B&W over the past couple of weeks and was thinking about many things I've gleaned from a number of LUG participants. I'm getting dangerously close to settling on Neopan 400 in Xtol (at either 1:2 or 1:3) as my default M load, and the collapsible 'cron is currently a front runner for the delineating device. There seems to be a graceful character about the transition from the intended focus plane on outward. As much as I often cast aside the seemingly sentimental waxings of those who champion them old-school lenses I must say that I feel somewhat susceptible to a certain graceful ease of imaging. Here's a quick sample of stuff; the shot of guitar builder Ken Parker (someone with whom I work regularly) was shot with my regular working axe (Canon 20D) with a 50 1.8 Canon EF. The other three are of a more personal nature; they may therefore be of little interest to anyone other than myself. yet these kindof more intimate snaps are just the thing that the collapsible/film combo seems to deliver so well, to my eyes (all from the Neopan 400 roll developed in Xtol 1:2). http://www.pbase.com/bobsworld/bw_08-07 Bob Palmieri _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
